Overview

Counseling and Career Development at Colorado State University and all three specializations are accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. Upon graduation, you’ll be professional counseling licensure-eligible in the state of Colorado and eligible to become a National Certified Counselor.

Blending Theory and Practice

With a master’s degree from our CACREP-accredited Counseling and Career Development program, you’ll be equipped to help people of all ages develop self-awareness, decision-making, and self-advocacy skills needed to live successful lives. All three specializations in the Counseling and Career Development program meet educational requirements for professional counseling licensure in Colorado. Additionally, the school counseling specialization meets educational requirements for school counseling licensure in Colorado. This is an in-person/on-campus program only.

Many of our students come from backgrounds such as:

Public and private school teaching
Social work
Human development
Psychology
Postsecondary education
Business
Employment agencies

If your background is in a different field, don’t let that stop you from applying. More important is your desire to make a difference in others’ lives through a career as a trained, professional counselor.

You’ll complete a general course of study for this Master of Arts degree, including core curriculum, a clinical practicum, and an internship. Additionally, you will choose from three specializations and complete coursework specific to your area of focus.
